I am working on a Gateway computer with only USB ports for mouse & keyboard.
I am using PS2 devices with a USB to PS2 adapter. Adapter works fine. When I
boot with BIBM disk, I have no mouse or keyboard function. I tried disabling
USB legacy support in BIOS, to no avail. What can I do?

you'd need to ensure USB Legacy support for the keyboard is enabled (not
disabled) since you're using a USB keyboard.

Thanks, but it does not work either way. Any suggestions or options?
Would a Linux based BIBM avoid the USB issues?

My own experience is that wired mouse may work better than a
cordless mouse. AND they are usually cheaper since you are
testing it out anyway.

You should "play" with the bios settings.I had a similar problem with BING on my gigabyte mobo.If I had enabledusb legacy support=onusb keyboard support=onusb mouse support=onBing or IFD could not detect neither the mouse nor the keyboard.

In my case the settings that worked wer:usb legacy support=onusb keyboard support=onusb mouse support=ofWith those BING could detect both the mouse and the keyboard.
